The wedding of Zhao Wei, Marquis of Jiannan, was very lively, not only did the emperor send a palace envoy to give congratulatory gifts, but even the eldest son of the emperor, the prince of Guangping and the prince of Fenyang and other royal nobles also brought a group of children of the clan to congratulate, and the daughters of the Jiang family and the Li family were also invited to drink the wedding wine.

In addition, the first line of honors and nobles in Beijing, the first line of military generals, and the first line of civil officials represented by officials of the Criminal Department all attended the wedding banquet. Shang Taifu himself didn't move, but his son Shang Qiong came with a group of scholars from the Mingzhi Library to make a concubine, which was simply the first dazzling concubine group in the history of this dynasty, and almost didn't cover the groom's light.

Tuo Shangqiong is now given by his transcendent status in Shilin, Zhao Wei went to greet his relatives, and with such a group of concubines, no one embarrassed him at all - so many talented people are here, how many hypnotic poems can't be written? Besides, in the group of concubines, there are also the sons and nephews of the subordinate officials of the Shuntian Mansion, even if the relatives and friends of the female family blocked the greeting team at the front door, there are also the back door and the side door.

When the bride's sedan chair was ushered on the return journey, there were generals from the Shuntian Mansion and the infantry commander of the yamen. It is said that the current infantry commander of the Yamen was also a small military attache under the command of the old county prince in the past, and he also led a horse to the old county prince. Now that he has recognized his relatives, he is more affectionate than before, and he is also a little more respectful to Zhao Wei's father-in-law, Shuntianfu Chengmi. After the day of the rice province, they were sent to the place, and they wanted to be more handy.

The sedan chair welcomed back to Jiannan Hou's Mansion, and the Hou Mansion was also busy. Today, there are really enough people, and there are not only scholars who know the library to welcome guests. There are also the Yi family brothers and Wu Jinshi, the son-in-law of the Zhao family, and the Zhao family is not lagging behind. Except for Zhao Qixuan's family and Zhao You, who were already in Beijing, people came to several rooms. Including Zhao Jing, the son of the sect, he took his wife Shen to Beijing, and even the head of the family, Zhao Hui, went to Beijing to drink the wedding wine in person. He was the man with the longest sleeves and danced, and a few words made the guests happy. At such a one-night wedding banquet, I don't know how many nobles he took and said that it was a few business.

Zhao Min, who is in the third room, also brought his wife Xiao Wang, son Zhao Mu and eldest daughter Sister Shu'er. His son Zhao Kun was admitted to the Jinshi, and he was too happy. When the news reached his hometown of Fengxian, the eighth old lady was ten years younger, and the regret of not being able to take the imperial examination in this life was also made up. However, Zhao Kun is absent in Beijing. I haven't found a good one, and he can't get into the Shu Jishi, so he can only be released, thinking that he is also old. The grandsons are going to get married. There is still an old father above, even if he has a good shortage, do you really have to go all the way to the office? How many years can he do it? can only live an official addiction. It's better to go back to the hometown to serve the old father and teach the children and grandchildren, if the children and grandchildren can also be a jinshi, their Zhao family's three rooms can be regarded as really turning over.

So Zhao Kun gave up the vacancy and returned to Fengxian with his grandson Zhao Mu in the autumn of last year. During the Chinese New Year, he sacrificed to his ancestors, and he stayed in his hometown by himself. But he sent his son and grandson to Beijing, and sent Sister Shu'er to marry by the way. He hadn't forgotten that he had an errand with the Knowing Library. ordered his son to meet his shortcomings, so Zhao Min is now in the capital. Zhao Shu was very familiar with everyone in the Mingzhi Library, and soon got into a relationship, and also opened up contacts for his father. Zhao Min felt that this trip was worthwhile, and he was also very concerned about Zhao Wei's wedding, and personally entertained the guests at the gate as a representative of the male family. He is a lifter, and he is a relative of Zhao Wei's close clan, and his identity can be regarded as handy.

In fact, when he saw their father and son going to Beijing, Zhao Xiu was worried. She was in the Qianqing Palace that day, but she used the eighth old lady as a pretext to hint at the truth about Emperor Gao Zhen's eye injury. At that time, Zhao Kun's ancestors and grandchildren had already returned to their hometowns, and the other clansmen of the Zhao family were very low-key, so they would not leak secrets. But now that Zhao Min and his son have returned to Beijing, if the emperor knows that the eighth old lady hurt not his eyes but his hands, maybe he will have to be suspicious a little more. However, Zhao Xiu was only worried for a short moment, and then quickly calmed down. If the emperor really wants to question, it's a big deal to admit that he is lying. She just wanted to find an excuse to ask Gao Zhen for the address of Dr. Ye's hometown that day, not really to seek medical treatment for the elders of the clan. She could say that Gao Zhen didn't know about it, and the emperor had nothing to doubt.

When preparing for the wedding, Zhao Xiu was so busy every day that her feet didn't touch the ground, but on the day her brother got married, she was idle. She is a girl who has not left the cabinet, and she is a noble person who wants to marry into the prince's mansion, whether it is the Zhang family, Zhao Wei or the rest of the clan, she is not allowed to come forward to greet the guests, only ask her to sit in the house, and laugh and chat with the female guests who come to congratulate. Zhang's is an old feudal monarch, and no one asks her to work, so she also sits in the main house to accompany guests. Mama Gong and Mama Zuo had a fun time for her. The errand of hospitality was asked to be undertaken by Shen Shi, the wife of the Zhao family, and Xiao Wang, the wife of Zhao Min, and Ma Shi, the wife of Zhao Qixuan, assisted from the side. With the wives of Wang Fulai and Wu Laixing on the side, the three wives completed their tasks very steadily.

The female guests who came to congratulate him, all the orders, and the wives and grandmothers of the families were all in front of the Zhang family, and the girls who had not left the pavilion were handed over to Zhao Xiu as a companion. Today, Li Shanwen and Cao Luo did not come over because they were to be married, but the rest of the girls, Liu, Feng and others arrived. I don't know if it's because Zhao Xiu's marriage has been decided, and the relationship between her husband's Guangping palace and the emperor has improved significantly, the little girls are much more polite to her than before, and they are more careful and respectful. Zhao Xiu looked at a girl who had met in the poetry club in the past and was very close to Miss Wang and greeted her affectionately, and did not mention good friends at all, and felt a little regretful in her heart.

She was very surprised to hear that Miss Wang was promised to her uncle's cousin recently, and she wanted to find someone to ask if the matter was true or not. Isn't Miss Wang's uncle's family a rich man? With the holy family of Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry today, how can he marry his daughter into such a family? Miss Wang has always regarded herself very highly, can she really accept this marriage? But then again, this girl's IQ and EQ are very touching, marrying back to her uncle's family, maybe she can live a stable life, even if she is unreliable in what she says and does, her maternal uncle will never dislike her.

Zhao Xiu accompanied the girls to laugh, but she actually felt bored. Fortunately, there are still Sister Shu in the third room and Sister Yuan, the daughter of Zhao Qixuan, who are on the side to help deal with it, otherwise the girls may have already discovered Zhao Xiu's absent-mindedness. These girls came to the door to drink the joyful wine. I won't say some gossip in the capital house, except for saying auspicious words, that is, asking about the bride's family background and temperament, etc. After Mi Yingzhi entered Beijing. In addition to the housekeeper, he is busy taking care of his mother and younger brother, even if he goes out to socialize, he will only go to the homes of those friends in Mi Province to meet their daughters, and he almost does not leave the house, let alone open a social circle in the capital. The ladies of the high-ranking families in Beijing knew almost nothing about her, and the older generation could only speculate about her cousin and niece with the impression of her former friendship with Zhao Xiu's mother, Mi. The younger generation has to listen to Zhao Xiu's mouth.

But no matter how unknown Mi Yingzhi was in the past, as soon as she passes today, she will be the righteous Mrs. Jiannanhou. will become a member of the top Destiny Circle. In order not to make jokes when they officially make friends, all the ladies want to make some preparations first.

Zhao Xiu pondered and answered everyone's questions, and at the same time put his mind on the auditorium outside, anxious to watch the ceremony. In fact. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many foreign men in the auditorium. She will definitely run out to see her brother and sister-in-law visit the church. Now I can only huddle in the back hall with the little girls, and when I salute for a while, I have to look through the blue yarn cupboard.

The blue gauze cabinet is covered with light yarn, and when you look inside from the outside, there is only a hazy patch, and you can see a little shadow shaking at a glance; Looking out from the inside, you can only see vague human movements. What's the point of going to the ceremony through it?

Zhao Xiu knew. This is probably the closest she has come to the wedding scene of the ancients. When it was her turn to get married, she would have to sit like a puppet. You can't see anything, you can't go anywhere. If you go to someone else's wedding after you get married, you can only be a relative, friend or guest. However, this is useless, the Zhang family has long strictly ordered her not to run to the hall, and Mama Gong and Mama Zuo have repeatedly ordered that this is not in accordance with the rules, Zhao Xiu is depressed, but she can only obey the order.

was depressed, she heard someone outside shouting "auspicious time has arrived", and then the gongs and drums sounded in unison, Zhang's side became noisy, the girls helped Zhang to sit on the high hall, ready to receive the newcomer's gift for a while, Zhao Xiu couldn't hold it back, and ran to the back of the blue yarn cabinet to watch the excitement. Around her, the girls who came to visit were also rushing to the cupboard to look outside, some were looking at the newcomers, and some were looking at the looks.

Zhao Xiu only stared at her brother, as for her sister-in-law, she was covered with a hijab on her head, so far away, she couldn't even see what flowers were embroidered with gold thread on the red hijab. But that's not the point, the point is how could his brother laugh so stupidly? smiled so happily, and opened his mouth to reveal his big white teeth, which looked very sunny and bright, but in the eyes of those who were familiar with Zhao Wei, this smile really made people feel disillusioned.

Relatives, friends and ministers were staring at Zhao Wei and laughing, but he didn't feel anything, he continued to laugh so much that he couldn't see his teeth, Zhao Xiu couldn't bear to look directly through the blue gauze cabinet. Fortunately, he just smiled stupidly, he was not stupid, he was very upright when he worshipped heaven and earth, and his movements were not out of shape, and he finally maintained the face of the dignified Jiannanhou. After the ceremony was completed, the newlyweds were surrounded by people who went to the new house to sit in the tent, pick up the hijab, drink the wine, etc., but Zhao Xiu couldn't get out of it, so he couldn't see it with his own eyes. When the wedding procedures were completed, Zhao Wei left the new house and returned to the banquet, Zhao Wei's expression finally returned to normal.

It's a pity that he was too stupid, and his relatives and friends couldn't help but joke about him: "When the bride is here, the groom and the groom laugh so happily." Why doesn't the bridegroom smile when the bride leaves? Could it be that the smiling face of the groom and the official child will only be revealed if it depends on the person? Zhang's smile was even happier, she was actually happier than her grandson today, since the morning, the smile on her face has not disappeared, Zhao Xiu is worried about whether the muscles on her face will have stiffened with laughter.

Zhao Wei was teased, and finally reacted, he was a little embarrassed, but he quickly calmed down, and Tuan Tuan made a gesture: "Thank you for coming to congratulate you today, the cold house has prepared a thin wine, please have one more glass." "It's a begging for mercy. The crowd teased him a few more times before they spared him.

The wedding feast has officially begun. Zhao Wei took his brothers and nephews to entertain guests at a banquet in the outer courtyard, and Zhao Xiu greeted the female guests in the garden with his grandmother Zhang. Zhao Xiu is in charge of all the girls who have not left the cabinet, and they eat sweet and not intoxicating fruit wine. This year, the fruit on the Zhuangzi was not yet ripe, so the wine made from the old year was used, but the girls were very satisfied. After three glasses of wine, the atmosphere is lively. I don't know if it's because the mothers and elders are sitting at other tables, a little far away from them, and the host Zhao Xiu can't be more indulgent, the girls soon feel comfortable, put aside many restraints, and talk and laugh with their friends.

Zhao Xiu saw that the guests were happy, and his heart was also happy. She was tilting her head to listen to Feng Xiuqin and Miss Feng say about an interesting thing that happened recently, when she suddenly felt that someone was pulling the corners of her sleeves, and when she looked back, it was Bihan.

Bihan lowered her voice and said to her: "Girl, there is a Miss Zheng who said that she has something very important to tell you, which is related to the palace, please take a step to speak." ”

Zhao Xiu frowned, what do you mean by this? Which Miss Zheng is again? (To be continued......)
